The Caruso Investor Portal displays detailed metrics, graphs, and tables to help investors track their investment performance. These figures are calculated in real time based on transactions, distributions, and current valuations.
Fund managers have complete control over which metrics are visible to investors. This article explains how to configure the metrics displayed in the Investor Portal.
Step 1: Access Fund Settings
Go to Funds in the navigation pane.
Select the relevant fund.
Open the Investor Portal tab.
Here you’ll find all the visibility settings that control what investors see.
Step 2: Configure Investor Portal Preferences
Scroll down the Investor Portal tab to manage the following sections: Holding Page setting, Fund Summary, Fund Default Key Metrics, Holding Page Custom Key Metrics, Holding Page Graphs, and Holding Page Tables. These preferences apply to all holdings in the fund, including all unit classes, and can be updated at any time.
Holding Page Setting
This setting controls whether investors can view detailed information about their holdings.
Enabled: Investors will see a View button in their portfolio. Clicking this opens detailed holding information.
Disabled: Holdings appear in the portfolio table, but no access to detailed view.
Fund Summary
